Pretty sure he just recently did a tour with Andre Nickatina up and down the coast (Portland down to So Cal). As the OPENING ACT for Andre. He also has Nickatina featured on the single for his most recent project. Not sure if that counts as "Loyalty" to you but it does count as business.
Your obviously speaking on someone in particular and there are so few successful bay area white rappers, and only few successful bay area rappers in general.
Im not sticking up for "bay area white rappers" at all but i'm just trying understand where this is coming from. I'm also not saying what you touched on in your original post is wrong or false but i'm trying to put it into context.
I honestly don't think there really is much "success" or money in the bay rap scene for this to apply.
I honestly didn't know that smoov-e did a tour with andre nickatina recently. So my apology for using him as an example. I actually used him also in a random analogy, and thus that wasn't right.
And it is artist(s), and not an artist in which I am speaking. And an artist doesn't have to be successful to have done this. That is the sad thing is they are being Benedict Arnold's and Judas Iscariot's when the level of success and credibility is so miniscule. Yet that lust to be commander is more powerful to them then basic fundamentals of humanity and honor.
And I am not saying necessarily you, but I see many trying to make this about 1 artist. And they are really trying to force that even when not the case, and that goes to the indoctrination, thought reform and coercive persuasion that they have absorbed.
